Leo is a lively boy who loves to play and climb outdoors. His great passion are cars. He is a former preemie and was born with hemiparesis (paralysis on one side of the body). He has been wearing a lower leg brace since he was 3 1/2 years old. This orthosis improves Leo’s walking pattern and reduces the risk of tripping. He particularly likes the fact that he can wear normal shoes with the orthosis and does not have to wear special orthotic shoes.
